The edge lace is forming a zigzag edge with changing textures. Download pdfRavelry project page. Lace knitting stitches. Wrapped Stitches. I’ve heard this many times: “There are only two stitches used in every piece of knitting—the knit stitch and the purl stitch.”

I guess that’s true, but what about the yarnover? It isn’t really a stitch, I suppose, but it’s used so often that I think of it as one. There are so many uses for the yarnover—there's lace knitting, of course, which is lousy with yarnovers, but there are also stitch patterns such as wrapped stitches and faux cables. The stitch shown above left is a wrapped stitch, and the wrap is actually a yarnover. This stitch pattern is worked as such: Row 1: K3, yarnover, k3, pass yarnover over all three stitches, k3, yarnover, k3, pass yarnover over all three stitches, and so on across row.Row 2: Purl across row.

I’m not sure I’d incorporate the wrapped stitch into a garment because the yarnover wraps would catch on things and snag. The stitch shown at left is a faux cable that uses a yarnover to separate the stitches and achieve the cable look. Cheers,
